You call yourself a leader but your body tells a different story. We teach the 4-Pillar Biblical Framework to help Christian Leaders lose fat, build muscle, and build a body the honors God. And if it doesn't stick, you don't pay. Watch video for how it works:

It’s pretty clear that like, everything ozempic and other GLP-1s comes down to values. Liberals will take it. Conservatives will hate it - unless they secretly live by liberal values (over indulgence, relinquishment of personal responsibility) It always comes down to values.

The deadliest drug in the world: Ozempic. While celebrities are calling it the “miracle” weight loss drug… Behind the hype lies a different story. Here’s what it really is, why you should never take it & what you should do instead:

Our Client Success Specialist, Dr. Nathan Appleby, just moved from California to Tennessee. He ended up staying the night with one of our guys, Tony (Down 40lbs, sustained over a year+). So amazing to see the culture in this group. Clients and coaches coming together sharpening and supporting one another. I'm so blessed to have these guys. If you need a accountability, community, and sharpening in the area of honoring your body so that you can lose the weight and keep it off, DM "group" and I'll shoot over info on how this all works.

TONY, 55, LOSES 30 LBS IN 17 WEEKS WITHOUT CUTTING SUGAR (BY BRINING HIS FAITH INTO HIS FITNESS)

How this 70-Year-Old Exec. Has Kept Off 53 Pounds Through the Holidays (And gotten off 3 meds!). At the end Jim reveals a deep Biblical principle that he believes led to his success.

The most important default action.

Wife and I remained celibate through our 14 months of dating. Wasn’t perfect in the lust department, but this in itself was one of the greatest demonstrations of self-control and belief shift in my entire life. Literally just came into agreement with the fact that if the world said I’d get “blue balls”, but God was asking me to stay pure- that God was right. His call to obedience is bigger than any “physiology”. Worked out well. I think the same way about my health and fitness. Sure, I probably have massive genetic predisposition to certain hunger, levels and insulin resistance given my family history. But if God’s calling me to honor my body. He’s right. His truth is bigger than my physiology. And this might seem like a weird comparison I’m just being raw about how I genuinely think through self-control I’ve demonstrated in my body. Hope this helps.

The longer you stay fat - the less your brain can tell when you’ve had enough to eat. Excess fat tissue makes you resistant to leptin - the “I’m full” hormone. The longer you wait to fix this, the harder it will be - even at the level of your brain.

Your default hunger levels are genetic. Your ability to manage cravings is individual. Hunger management is when you feel full. Craving management is whether or not you turn to food for comfort. Both can be changed through mind, body, and spirit.

New Era for Default Kings. Introducing Dr. Nathan Appleby. And before you watch, let’s just address the elephant in the room: You’ve been promised “1-on-1 coaching” before… …only to be handed off to some glorified accountability buddy. Some guy who “lost 30 lbs in the program” and now claps you through check-ins like a Peloton instructor with a clipboard. You signed up thinking you were getting a coach. You got a cheerleader with a spreadsheet. Let me be crystal clear: That’s not what’s happening here. If you’re going to fight the battle for your health—and win—you’re not going to do it with half-baked fitness advice and some 23-year-old DMing you emojis. You need someone who can speak faith into the area of your life where doubt has ruled for decades. Someone who sees your physical transformation as his calling in the Kingdom of God. Who’s not here just to “track your macros”… but to disciple your discipline. To steward your strength. To remind you—daily—who you are in Christ. Which is why I’ve made a massive change inside Default Kings. Starting right now, for the first time in the history of our organization… You will be personally coached by Dr. Nathan Appleby. Yes, personally. He is responsible for your results. Nathan isn’t some “rah rah” rep counting reps. He’s not a past client turned sidekick. He’s not a “client success coordinator” with a smile and a script. He is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a man of the God, a father of two beautiful girls, a convicted follower of Christ, and a relentless warrior when it comes to reclaiming men’s health for the glory of God. When I met Nathan, I knew immediately: this is the man I want leading our men. Why? Because he reminded me what it actually means to honor the body as a temple. And I’ll be honest: it convicted me in a way I didn't know I needed. So yes, you’ll have access to me—on group coaching calls, in our private community, even via direct voice and video messages. But Nathan will walk with you day-by-day through your journey. He will know your story, your struggle, and your standard. He will carry responsibility for your success like your breakthrough depends on it—because it does. This shift marks a new era in Default Kings. Not just physically. Spiritually. Because we know this isn’t just about fat loss. It’s about fighting back against the slow decay of discipline in the lives of Christian men. It’s about raising up leaders—fathers, husbands,—who can steward their bodies with strength, stamina, and the spirit of God. If you're considering engaging with us, this is your opportunity to see for yourself exactly who Nathan is—and why I trust him with our men. Watch this interview to get to know the DK Client Success Specialist,  Dr.Nathan Appleby.  And if you’ve ever felt like you were too far gone… you’ll hear the hope you’ve been looking for. Watch the full interview here. Additionally, if you're tired of struggling with your weight, feeling tired, and calling yourself a leader while your body tells a different story - and you think support from men like Nathan and I would help you reach your goals - and align your physical stewardship with your spiritual calling - Book a one on one call with me using the link below. I'm still able to take a few more of these this week, we'll dive into your situation, and I'll provide you direct feedback on how to get unstuck and finally build a body that honors God. If it sounds like we can help - I'll break down logistics for your game plan, if it sounds like we can't, I'll still give you some honest feedback on what I truly believe you need to do to finally lose the fat and build muscle sustainably in 2026. The call is totally free, and most of the men we advise lose between 10-50 lbs. And we're so confident in what we do, that if it doesn't stick - you don't pay. Book a one on one call with me using the link below. Let’s go. — Gabe
